Help me lift it!" The girls: "You gon take this one?" "Uh no..." "Umm..." Celine: "OH YEA-YEA-YEA-YEA-YEA!" The other girls just gave up.

janetDAYZ Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Mariah ALWAYS gets whooped on stage by any female she sings with. It's embarrassing, since she suppose to be one of the "best" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSimba Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 MC (since she was brought up like always lol) purposely held back b/c she respects Aretha way too much to outshine her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mariah held back to not outshine Aretha??? She could never which is why she didn't even try. It's clear the TRUE vocalist stepped up to the plate Mariah, knew better..she ain't stupid, she can't hang Go look at any duet she's ever done w/ a female live and you'll see that. Those STAN shades you Lambs have on are mighty foggy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJoe Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 WTF is goin on in this thread? y'all know damn well Mariah can't outsing no damn Aretha Franklin. Only way Mariah could sing higher is if she goes to whistle mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 LOL @ Celine trying Aretha. CRYING @ Aretha FINISHING Celine around the 2:58 mark with that chest belt. That is why resonance > SCREAMING @ Mariah buckling the other girls by being an actual musician and interpreting her lines. DIES @ Celine trying to sing at the end with NO knowledge of the gospel scale and copying each of Aretha's riffs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laveaux Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I really want to believe that Mariah was being respectful, but I think she was intimidated tbh. I do remember her throwing shade at Celine for trying to compete with Aretha. If I don't use Mariah for anything, I do use her for her shade.

Kim Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 During the call and response between Big Bertha and Celine, I think it was a case of, "Anything you can do, I can do better." Carole talked about Big Bertha singing over Celine, but I think Carole is the one who felt disrespected after having her part snatched by Big Bertha: So Celine basically said, "Enough is enough, Big B."

aed05 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This performance was the shadiest mic toss since Diana passed the mic to Pattie. Celine said "bitch if you wanna do this we can do this"! Ultimately Aretha is the queen, but i always respected Celine for giving her a run for her money that night. MC was being respectful in my opinion, because she could have hit her whistle notes and shut a lot of shit down, as quiet as its kept.

Mariah couldn't hang or else she would've stepped up. She wasn't being respectful she was just scared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
